EXAMPLE 1

Into 100 parts of polypropylene ["Noblen JHH-G," trade name, after twice recyrstallizations from monochlorobenzene, available from Mitsui Toatsu Chemicals Inc.] was incorporated 0.25 part of the stabilizer of this invention. The resulting mixture was blended and molten. The molten mixture was molded into a sheet with a thickness of 0.5 mm. under heating and pressure.

The sheet was exposed to irradiation of ultraviolet ray at 45° C in a Fade-Meter and the time when the sheet becomes brittle was measured.

The results are shown in Table 1.

EXAMPLE 2.

Into 100 parts of high-density polyethylene ["Hi-Zex," trade name, available from Mitsui Toatsu Chemicals Inc., after twice recrystallizations from toluene] was incorporated 0.25 part of the stabilizer of this invention. The resulting mixture was blended and molten and molded into a sheet with a thickness of 0.5 mm. under heating and pressure.

The sheet was exposed to irradiation of ultraviolet ray at 45° C in a Fade-Meter and the time when the sheet becomes brittle was measured.

The results are given in Table 1. The Nos. of stabilizers recited hereinafter are referred to hereinbefore.

EXAMPLE 3.

Into 100 parts of polystyrene ["Styron," trade name, after recrystallization from a mixture of benzene with methanol, available from Asahi-Dow Limited.] was incorporated 0.25 part of the stabilizer of this invention. The resulting mixture was molded at 180° C under pressure into a plate with a thickness of 1 mm.

The plate thus formed was subjected to the exposure of ultraviolet ray irradiation in a Fade-Meter at 45° C for 500 hours. A test piece of the treated plate was tested for color-difference by means of a color-difference colorimeter according to the method prescribed in Japanese Industrial Standard "K-7103", and a change of the yellowness index of the plate was calculated according to the following equation:

    ΔYI = YI - YI.sub.0

wherein ΔYI means a change of yellowness index, YI means a yellowness index after exposure and YI₀ means an initial yellowness index of a test piece.

The results are shown in Table 2.

To 32.7 g. of p-toluenesulfonate of triacetonamine were added 12 g. of trimethylolethane, 1.5 g. of p-toluenesulfonic acid and 200 ml. of toluene and reflux with heating was conducted for 5 hours while the water formed was removed. After cooling, neutralization was made by the addition of an 30% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide and separation of liquids was effected to recover a toluene layer, which was then washed with water, dried and concentrated under reduced pressure. Residual crystals were recrystallized from a mixed liquid of 1:1 of benzene-petroleum ether to give the end product as white cyrstals melting at 125°-126° C.

Referential Example 14 Aza-3-ethyl-8,8,9,10,10-pentamethyl-1,5-dioxa-3-phenyl-carbamoyloxymethyl-spiro[5,5]undecane (illustrated compound II-44)

To 3 g. of 9-aza-3-ethyl-3-hydroxymethyl-8,8,9,10,10-pentamethyl-1,5-dioxa-spiro[5,5]undecane were added 2 ml. of triethylamine and 30 ml. of benzene and to the solution was added with stirring a solution of 1.3 g. of phenyl isocyanate added with stirring a solution of 1,3 g. of phenyl isocyanate dissolved in 20 ml. of benzene. The reaction was effected with heating at 70° -75° C. for 4.5 hours. The reaction liquid was concentrated and the residual liquid was flown into a silica gel column. Elution with a mixed solvent of benzene-ether (1:1) gave crystalline mass, which was then recrystallized from petroleum ether to give the end product as white crystals melting at 94° C.
